Thank you very much for your positive feedback on the "early October". I am glad you liked it. If you like nature scenes I strongly encourage you to take a closer look at my gallery. Perhaps you will find there something of interest. Stay tuned

Hi Drew, thanx for the encouraging words concerning " Art Class ". I'm really glad you liked it. When I did it I liked it but it was real grainy, so I threw it in Photo Shop & under Noise---Despeckle....that's how it came out, all metallic looking. I was stunned to say the least. Good luck with Apophysis...

Hi Drew, many thanks for stopping by to view "Trimmed In Red"! In answer to your question, no, the colors were not enhanced in fact I do not have these special skills. I hope to learn them someday! I do think that more blue sky for contrast would have been nice! Thanks again Drew! Please stop by again! Sincerely, Marilyn

Hi Drew...thanks a lot for dropping by on Secrets of the Swamp and leaving your nice comments...glad you enjoyed it...frankly, I am not really sure if it is technically a swamp...I just think of it that way...it's probably more of a pond but I call it a swamp because there is a lot of wet land beyond the pond...anyhow, I appreciate your visit.:Pat.

And welcome to the site ... I am a relatively new member as well. I think you will really enjoy your time spent here, I know I have and now, I am curious as to what kind of imagery you are into ... so, off to have a look ... later ...

Drew, thanks for commenting on "Crossings". It was taken in Febuary of 2005. Sometimes I get excited about recent stuff or entirely sick of posting, so my pictures get buried. When I am neither, I take a second look at them. I am glad you liked it! :-)

Hi Drew, my what nice and encouraging words you left for me to enjoy! Thanks for stopping by to view "Citrus Autumn"! Very uplifting well chosen words I must say and I thank you very much! Sincerely, Marilyn

Hi Drew,
nice to read your words on Life in my hand.
I really appreciate it when people respond to these kind of images.
This is the kind of work that I like to create most of all, even though it is not always receiving the best of crittics.
So, thanks a lot!
Paul

Thanks for the comment on "Serpentine", I really appreciate it The thing is about making it brighter, I really liked the gradient, in that it did remind me of the colors of snakeskin. Besides that I tried increasing the brightnesss, but it looked too washed out, you know, lots of glare, not a good look. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it...=]

Drew - thanks for the post on my Spartan Woods - if you check out the works of the many very talented black & white nature photographers like Clyde Butcher, Benjamin Hess, Neil Folberg & Jeff Ripple I might be able to persuade you on the merits of monochromatic nature shots.

Hi, Drew...please forgive me for not expressing my gratitude sooner for all of your comments on my images! I'm way behind on thank yous, but, please know that your comments are much appreciated! THANKS so much! Wen

Thank you for your support and kind words on "Yet again I found myself pondering". Im glad you liked it. It just goes to show when you post subject material that raises a few eyebrows how many views and thoughts become apparent. Take it easy, rmember stay safe & well. Nik ;-)

P.S. Icon is cool if somewhat disturbing, coming from me that is rich.

Hey Drew, Thanks for the comments on "Space Warp". Just keep playing with Apophysis and learn to run the scripts and play with the triangles. You've got a good eye so I expect to see some awesome flames from you in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and vote on Wanna Play . I really appreciate it! I invite you to take a look at the before and after, since Im really proud of the outcome. And I think you can appreciate Wanna Play better! please CLICK HERE. Again thank you for stopping by! glad you liked it.

Hello Drew,
to my big surprise I was elected to be the first Artist of the week, amazing but true 'cause it should have been you.
And so I want to say thanks good friend, for your big support and posting such a nice comment!
